Linen and I have rarely crossed paths. Too stiff. Too earthy. Too much body, not enough drape. I had one pair of chocolate linen cropped wide- leg "gauchos" in the early 2000s. (Remember when cropped everything was the rage, especially jersey gaucho pants?) They were from Old Navy and I really loved them. But otherwise, I haven't loved linen.
Until now.
Sheets have been a hard thing for me and Hubs. My husband runs hot and I need a lot of temperature regulation. My body temp can run from cold to warm to sweaty in one night. Not every night, but on occasion, I do experience a lot of variation.
Cotton is either too rough or too. Last year's set of organic cotton sheets were sateen weave. (Didn't realize it until it was too late.) The sateen weave left us both clammy. Then the sheets tore last month. Percale honestly hasn't been that much better.
Bamboo was a great disappointment. Not at all as "cool" or temp regulating as promised. The set we had frayed at the corner pocket seams after only 6 months.
I had never considered linen sheets. I kept researching which sheet material to try next. Linen kept coming up everywhere. Found an organic set.
I am in LOVE! I never wake up overly warm or cold. And we are both dry upon waking. The texture of this particular brand is soft in a toothy way. It's like heavyweight flannel fabric had all of the flannel flocking rubbed off. Too early to tell how they'll hold up to wear and use. But still, very, very happy.
